Starunya: from geological monument to nature UNESCO geopark

One of the natural wonders of Prykarpatya is the village Starunia – with embalmed in ozokerite and well-preserved carcasses of mammoths and hairy rhinos and an active mud volcano, will undoubtedly delight us with new exploratory discoveries in the field of geology, paleontology and archeology. It is possible that here, together with large fossil mammals of the Ice Age, the remains of hunters on them – our ancestors Cro-Magnons – could be preserved. This discovery would have, without the slightest exaggeration, an international dimension. Therefore, it is necessary to continue the comprehensive study of Starunia, to promote it among environmentalists, scientists, students and schoolchildren. All this develops a love for native nature, encourages the preservation of its unique objects and historical and cultural heritage.The preparation of "Starunia" for the UNESCO World Geoparks Network by specialists of the Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas (IFNTUNG) in accordance with UNESCO requirements is highlighted by UNESCO Geoparks Program.According to these requirements to give the geological monument of nature "Starunia" the status of "geopark" it is necessary to study and give a standard description of all components of the environment: geological environment and endogeodynamic processes, relief (geomorphosphere) and dangerous exogeodynamic processes, hydro- and atmosphere, soil and plants cover, social environment, technosphere and their anthropogenic changes; assess the current environmental situation and develop environmental protection measures. This is not yet the case.In order to further study "Starunia" in IFNTUNG developed Regional Comprehensive Program for 2022–2023 "Starunia: from a natural monument to the geopark of the Ice Age", which was transferred to the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State Administration and the Regional Council.Thus, the world-famous geological natural monument of national importance "Starunia" deserves a separate national program and shorter deadlines for its implementation, which would allow including "Starunia" in the world network of UNESCO geoparks.

"Jesteśmy lasem". Słowacy w lustrze inicjatywy ekologicznej "My sme les"

We Are the Forest: Slovaks in the Mirror of the Ecological Initiative My sme lesThe aim of this article is to explore the common points between the ecological movement and citizenship by discussing My sme les, a Slovak citizens’ initiative to protect Slovak forests. The Slovaks’ involvement in nature conservation as demonstrated by the My sme les campaign was recognised here not only as a manifestation of global trends in changing ecological awareness but also as a reflection of the special bond between man and nature ingrained in Slovak culture and mentality. The ecological movement currently developing in new media forms in Slovakia was introduced with an analysis of various (mainly online and audio-visual) sources related to the My sme les campaign. The article highlights the influence of the Deep Ecology trend on Slovak activists and the projects they have implemented. The My sme les initiative is not only an appeal for the social responsibility of Slovaks when it comes to the devastation of native nature, but also proves to be an important step towards a deeper civic engagement with the community. The Slovak case provides confirmation of the main thesis of Deep Ecology, namely that humans are not above nature, but are an integral part of it. Thanks to the My sme les initiative, in the context of Slovak culture, the forest emerged as a new cultural symbol, polemical towards the mountains, traditionally interpreted in a national-cultural key. Jesteśmy lasem. Słowacy w lustrze inicjatywy ekologicznej My sme lesCelem artykułu jest zbadanie punktów wspólnych ruchu ekologicznego i postawy obywatelskiej poprzez omówienie słowackiej inicjatywy obywatelskiej na rzecz ochrony słowackich lasów My sme les. Zaangażowanie się Słowaków w ochronę przyrody uwidaczniające się w kampanii My sme les uznane tu zostało nie tylko za przejaw globalnych tendencji w zakresie zmiany świadomości ekologicznej, lecz także za odzwierciedlenie zakorzenionego w słowackiej kulturze i mentalności szczególnego związku człowieka z przyrodą. Poprzez analizę różnorodnych źródeł (przede wszystkim internetowych i audiowizualnych) powiązanych z kampanią My sme les został przybliżony rozwijający się współcześnie w nowych medialnych formach ruch ekologiczny na Słowacji. W artykule podkreślono wpływ nurtu ekologii głębokiej na słowackich działaczy i przedsięwzięcia przez nich realizowane. Inicjatywa My sme les nie tylko stanowi apel o społeczną odpowiedzialność Słowaków wobec dewastacji rodzimej przyrody, lecz również okazuje się ważnym krokiem na drodze głębszego obywatelskiego zaangażowania się na rzecz wspólnoty. Przypadek słowacki dostarcza potwierdzenia głównej tezy ekologii głębokiej, tej mianowicie, że człowiek nie jest ponad przyrodą, ale jest jej nieodłączną częścią. Dzięki inicjatywie My sme les las zaistniał w kontekście kultury słowackiej jako nowy symbol kulturowy, polemiczny wobec tradycyjnie interpretowanych gór w kluczu narodowo-kulturowym.

THE PROBLEMS OF ANTHEISM IN M. STELMAKH’S NOVEL «BREAD AND SALT»

The article considers the content of the concept of «antheism» and based on the analysis of the text of the novel «Bread and Salt» by Mykhailo Stelmakh singles out its components, rooted in the minds of Ukrainians: the sacredness of the land; rootedness of Ukrainians in their native land; cost of the land; land as a living being; love for work on the land, and, at the same time, cruelty of the land and difficulty of work. In the article we start from the definition of the content of the concept of «antheism» by O. Shevel as an important feature of the mentality of Ukrainian philosophical worldview, based on the deep emotionality of Ukrainians, attitude to native nature, reflected in the material and spiritual culture of Ukraine. It was found that the selected components of the concept of «antheism» are embodied in the work as follows: the sacredness of the earth ( nursing earth, Mother Earth, Earth as a gift or God’s creation, a combination of the most important categories of being Home – Field – Temple and Faith – Hope – Love); rootedness of Ukrainians in their home ground (the land became part of people; people can give birth to bread); the value of land (in the work land is the highest value, it is more expensive than human life); earth as a living being (earth-woman, earth’s breast as mother’s breast, soothing human pain); love for work on the land (they taught to work on the land from an early age, work on it is the center of the child’s dream), and at the same time cruelty of the land and hard work (hard work that exhausted the farmer, destroyed his health, drained strength, and sometimes even killed). For Ukrainians, earth is manifested in all spheres of their lives from sacred to household. It includes a number of attributive elements: the cult of the earth, the magic of the word, the magic of the subject – everything that makes up the worldview of Ukrainians, the system of their values, everything that is embodied in the folklore and traditional culture of the people.

Пейзаж в творчестве Фердинанда Рущица

The purpose of this article is to reveal the work of the master of the extraordinary expressive landscape Ferdynand Ruszczyc. Because of the lack of knowledge of the topic, this goal seems relevant. The historical-biographical method served as the main method of research here. The author concludes that the work of Ferdynand Ruszczyc reveals the influence of Ivan Shishkin, and then Arkhip Kuindzhi. He was not only closely associated with the young Russian landscape school under the leadership of A.I. Kuindzhi in 1898–1905, but was also one of those who formed it and gave it its own unique identity. The dynamics of the artist from early works to later ones, his coloristic talent was remarkably manifested in such works as “Earth”, “Mill”, “Near the Church”, “Old Apple Trees”, etc. His works are characterized by a subtle combination of color and precise compositional completeness. The first Belarusian painter to lay the foundations of the national school of landscape painting, he was able to reveal the daily life of his people through the beauty of his native nature. Целью статьи является раскрытие творчества Фердинанда Эдуардовича Рущица, мастера пейзажной живописи. Эта тема недостаточно изучена и актуальна. Историко-биографический метод послужил в исследовании основным; кроме того, использовались элементы искусствоведческих методов в анализе картин. В результате автор приходит к выводу о том, что творчество Фердинанда Рущица обнаруживает влияние И.И. Шишкина, а затем и А.И. Куинджи. Ф. Рущиц был не только тесно связан с молодой русской пейзажной школой под руководством А.И. Куинджи в 1898–1905 годах, но и являлся одним из тех, кто ее формировал и придавал ей свое лицо. Динамика художника от ранних работ к более поздним, его колористический талант замечательно проявился в таких произведениях, как «Земля», «Мельница», «У костела», «Старые яблони» и других. Его произведениям присущи тонкое сочетание цвета и точная композиционная завершенность. Первым из белорусских живописцев, заложившим основы национальной школы пейзажной живописи, он смог раскрыть через красоту родной природы повседневную жизнь своего народа.

Adoption and Use of Educational Technology Tools by Marketing Students

Changing trends in educational technology are one of the driving forces behind many of the new educational strategies Higher Education Institutions are introducing. These changes are frequently justified with the “digital native” nature of the current generation of students who have been surrounded by digital technology from the moment they were born and are expected to also feel comfortable to use and adopt technological tools for their learning purposes. There have been many studies trying to assess the veracity of this assumption, but we still do not have enough data to confirm or deny this willingness and aptitude or even assess if students benefit from a technologically supported approach to learning. More studies are therefore necessary, in particular in subject areas that are not so connected to the technology, like humanities, economics, and social sciences, where students cannot be expected to be so proficient in the use of those tools and therefore their technology adoption process might be dependent of other variables. This article intends to contribute to this effort by presenting a study that uses the UTAUT model to assess which variables influence the use and adoption of educational technologies’ tools by Higher Education Marketing students. The result showed that, for these students, Social Influence (or Social Factors) was the most relevant variable to determine their Behavioural Intention.
